Each tall rectangular mirror features a strongly architectural silhouette with a projecting molded cornice, finely reeded frieze, and gracefully shaped upper corners. The highly figured burl walnut frame is further enhanced by darker walnut moldings and a distinctive applied brass Neoclassical cartouche centered beneath the frieze. The brass ornament incorporates scrolling foliage, classical flourishes, and symmetrical decorative motifs, providing a luxurious contrast to the warm walnut.
The combination of dramatic burl wood, architectural Regency proportions, and finely detailed brass ornament gives the pair a particularly sophisticated English Regency Revival / Hollywood Regency character. Their impressive vertical scale makes them ideal for flanking a console, fireplace, doorway, or architectural opening. See less
